This morning’s meditation.
Responsibility.
I am reminded how I need to take responsibility for my reactions to life.
Yesterday at work I actually snapped at a guy who had called me “newcomer”. I felt disrespected, so I leaned in asked him “what?!?” then I showed him my name badge and said my name is Tom.
I was so far away from what I prefer as a peaceful being that I was disturbed by my response for a few hours.
Eventually I needed to answer the question: What did I believe about myself at that moment to respond as I did?
Well, I did not know how to complete the transaction so I asked for help but within me I believed I wasn’t good enough. I made myself feel inadequate and when this guy called me newcomer I just lashed out.
My reaction had nothing to do with him and everything to do with me.
Today I intend to enter each experience with understanding, compassion, acceptance, appreciation, humility, humor, honesty, empathy, peace, and Love.
May each of you find your path to responsibility.
You are Loved.
